By eating a healthy high-fat, low-carbohydrate and low- to moderate-protein diet, you enter into what is known as nutritional ketosis: a state in which your body burns fat as its primary fuel rather than glucose (sugar).

In fact, emerging scientific evidence suggests a high-fat, low-net carb and low- to moderate-protein diet (in other words, a diet that keeps you in nutritional ketosis) is ideal for most people.

The primary reason that so many people are overweight and/or in poor health these days is that the Westernized diet is overloaded with non-fiber carbs as the primary fuel, which in turn inhibit your body’s ability to access and burn body fat.

A dietary intake of about 50 grams or less per day of net carbs while also keeping protein low-to-moderate is usually low enough to allow you to make the shift to nutritional ketosis (the metabolic state associated with an increased production of ketones in your liver; i.e., the biological reflection…

Those following keto consume 80 percent of their calories from fat and almost zero from carbsthe fuel source your body and brain prefer to tap first.

Heres how the keto diet works: When your body no longer has access to fuel from carbohydrateseither because theyve been cut from your diet or you havent eaten in a long timeit goes into a state called ketosis.

One study of five endurance athletes showed that a 10-week keto diet improved the athletes body composition and well-being but not their performance.

Ford also points out that in the studies looking at ketosis and performance with negative results, the athletes are not often sufficiently fat-adapted (when the body is trained to tap fat stores for energy, which can take several months) or even in ketosis, making it hard to truly gauge whether…

Other sugar alcohols include xylitol and sorbitol, which are similar to erythritol except they have 2.4 and 2.6 calories per gram, respectively.You’ll find erythritol in lots of low-cal and low-sugar packaged foods and drinks (think Halo Top and Quest Bars), says Torey Armul, R.D, a spokesperson of the American Academy…

That’s because sugar alcohols like erythritol aren’t absorbed by the body, according to the International Food Information Council.Most people on low-carb diets focus on counting net carbs, which are calculated by subtracting a product’s fiber and sugar alcohols from the total carbohydrate number on the label.

The thinking is that there’s no sense in counting the stuff that your body doesn’t end up fully digesting.So even though there are roughly four grams of carbs per teaspoon of erythritol, its net carb count is zero.How Is Erythritol Different From Other Sweeteners?Erythritol and other sugar alcohols are a…

So if a high-carb, low-fat vegetarian diet isn’t helping you hit your weight-loss goals, switching to a vegetarian keto diet, which prioritizes fats and proteins while restricting carbs, could be the jump start your system needs.

The essence of a vegetarian diet is healthful carbohydrates, and keto diets are very low in carbs, says Sharon Palmer, R.D.N.And depending how strict a vegetarian diet you follow, you most likely avoid all meats, poultry, and fishthe main sources of protein recommended in a typical ketogenic diet, adds Sheth….

Not to mention that many plant-based protein sources, such as beans and lentils, are high in carbsso they’d be a no-go on a vegetarian keto diet plan.

How to Stock Your Vegetarian Keto KitchenFor an overall view of what a successful vegetarian keto diet meal plan looks like, you have to consider your three main macronutrients first: Healthy fats, carbs, and protein.

However, when we remove carbohydrates from our diet, our bodies begin to break down fat and turn to a fuel source in the form of ketones, which is more efficient but generally underutilized, explains Bede.

Ketones are a substance produced by the liver when the body breaks down fat for energy, which are then released into the blood.

One theory is that your body responds to a ketogenic diet like it would to a fasting state, as it adapts to burning fat as fuel, releasing ketones into the blood, he explains.

Keto can have a few unfortunate side effects, one of which is known as the Keto Flu, or a group of symptoms experienced as one transitions from carbs to fat, says Bede.

While you’re adapting to the diet, you might feel a bit fatigued, even if you’re not an athlete but once your body has adapted, you’ll have no issues cranking through a strength session, Bede says.

Geoff Woo, the CEO of HVMN, explained to me before I downed my shot of HVMN Ketone which is being presold in three-packs for $99 apiece that ketone ester constituted the fourth macronutrient after proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Drinking it, he said, would provide my body with a new type of fuel one that, for Woo, gave him the explosive energy one would feel after fasting for 10 days.

Ketones in the bloodstream naturally increase when a person starves themselves of carbohydrates and sugars for several long, hard days and enters ketosis.

HVMN Ketone, which has been given the thumbs-up from athletes and soldiers alike, would allow me to skip the arduous part and jump straight to peak performance.

He assured me that, although the product is predominantly marketed toward elite or professional athletes, a survey showed that those people constitute only 10 percent of the people who have pre-ordered the drink, which hits shelves in April.
